Town have amended a policy aimed at preventing Norwich supporters from buying tickets in home areas online for the derby on Saturday 23rd August.
Initially only fans who had purchased tickets, season tickets or memberships from the club in their own name or with their customer number within the last three years were permitted to buy tickets as Town sought to prevent visiting supporters from attempting to buy seats in home stands for the derby, which kicks-off at 12.15pm and is live on Sky.
However, after a flood of calls to the ticket office, the Blues have extended that limit to 10 years. Supporters outside the 10-year restriction should either call the ticket office on 03330 050503 or purchase their seats in person from Planet Blue.
Restrictions are in place in order to prevent Norwich fans from purchasing tickets in home areas and away supporters could face being escorted out of the ground if found seated amongst the Town support.
Tickets went on general sale this morning and are selling well, according to Town’s director of retail and ticket operations Lee Hyde.
"The demand for tickets as you would expect is high,” he told the club site. "You have to have a restriction on online sales otherwise we could have away fans purchasing online, so we put the three year ceiling in place. We also felt that was fair to our supporters but we’ve now had to extend that to 10 years.
"We’re getting so many calls from fans who have not purchased a ticket in the last three years and want to go to the game so we’ve opened up the criteria which allows more supporters to purchase online.”
Tickets are available online from ITFC Direct.
